      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Waymo

      Interview

      After asking to reschedule the phone screen I must have broken their AI driven recruiting process. Meeting the recruiter they said it seems my phone screen went well. Strange because I didn’t do a phone screen yet. The recruiter said I had an interview scheduled the following week. I asked if they could re-send the calendar invite as I did not receive anything, and was forwarded the invite. That day came, nobody showed up on the call. I emailed the recruiter advising them of this, and never heard back. Unprofessional. Will never seriously consider working with Waymo or other Google companies in the future. They have a combination of superiority complex and entitlement over their employees. Pass!

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      1 Apr 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Waymo

      Interview

      Waymo recruiter reached out to me via Email. Asked me about past projects and what I am interested to work on. After that she shared a few roles over the email. Then there was coding round. It was a 2D matrix coding problem which asked to print the weights for each cell. It required using recursion, etc. It was a hard problem but the interviewer gave a me a few hints which helped me solve. Then I was invited to the virtual onsite rounds: 1 coding, 2 behavioral, 1 machine learning, 1 system design. Everything went pretty smooth (coding round was a BFS question). One of the interview was setup incorrectly for me. That interviewer had no clue what he was supposed to ask. He started asking completely random technical questions. It was very weird conversation which did not go anywhere for like 30 mins. It screwed my interview. I told this to recruiter and they said they'll rearrange the interview for me, It was a bad experience. A few days later, I get the rejection email. I felt terrible because all rounds were pretty smooth and I also loved the team.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      2D Matrix and recursively print some weights. BFS question to check if there exists a path in 2D matrix. But the question was smartly modified which required some critical thinking.
